Any will work for you. Don't worry about speed because the slowest ATV in your choice group is too fast to every open up where you should be riding. Some people go out on a straight paved road that one time just to see how fast they go for curiosity sake.

If you can go faster than 50 mph on a ATV than your riding on some pretty dull long flat terrain if you ask me.

the hardest thing for me is leaving a brand that i like, i have a buddy that works on all of my stuff and he's a mechanic at schiets motors in fremont so the kingquad and the grizzly would be what he could work on.... i like to buy local and i can get a pretty decent deal because i bought my kodiak from them so the brute and sportsman would be a hard choice to go to

I know what you mean! I grew up riding/racing Yamahas. I quit riding bikes for a few yrs ago and now that I'm back into atvs.
I checked Yamaha 1st out of brand loyalty, dealer didn't make a differance to me.
If you have a good dealer and a buddy to work on your new atv it would be a no brainer for me!
Have you seen the new black snakeskin look Grizzly?

Based on your posts it seems like you've already made up your mind you just need to hear it from someone else. So here ya go: Get the Grizzly. You'll love it.

i think that i'll wait until the review comes out between the Rincon 680, the Artic Cat 700, and the Grizzly in Quads Magazine though

I don't know why speed is always a topic of discussion with 4x4 utes..

How often does anyone really go 60mph? Does it really matter?? Yes the Grizzly is one of the slowest big bores out there, the Honda Rincon is the slowest if I'm not mistaken.
I don't find the grizzly tippy, but its all opinion. The power steering is phenomenal, I have not woken up the next day with sore arms or had the handlebars ripped out of my hands. The power is great, sure there are others with more power. If going 60 means that much to someone then they might as well get a sport quad.
I haven't even gone over 50 on mine. It can wheelie, yes the brute force can wheelie easier. Yes its more expensive then a brute force or KQ. It is pretty obvious that all the flagship big bores are great atv's.

What you need to do is go to one of the powersports webpages and do a side by side comparrison of the ones your looking at and determine what features you would rather have.

Since you want a true locking diff I think that eliminates the polaris.

Good luck.

west350bruin
Get your facts straight, the Polaris have true 4wd, all 4 wheels turn in 4wd! I just switch from 2wd to awd, I can ride all day in awd. How is your Bruin? flip a switch for 3wd and then a lever to lock the front? Can you ride around all day with the front locked?
Don't knock it till you try it.
